Quick Straw Poll amongst suggests anger in weighting in favor of the execs and bewilderment as the gap between voluntary and involuntary isn't incentive enough to put your hand up. Two months pay isn't good enough when the risk is only a 1-in-3 chance you're toast. Two-thirds of the employees will remain, so I believe the word 'derisory' is very much on point for anyone Director or below.

AOLer - "Hi Honey, I'm home"

Significant Other - "How was your day"

AOLer - "Not bad, though there was a difficult question come up, today and I like your opinion, honey!"

Significant Other - "Why, I'd love to help with that, you do look puzzled"

AOLer - "Should I sit tight and risk being one of the third of employees to be fired, or should I take an extra two months pay and flush my career down the pan?"

Significant Other - "Why that seems awful simple to me, dear. Two months go by so fast and the economy's in the shit, so I say sit tight and hope to ride out the storm is the only logical answer".

AOLer - "Exactamundo, Fonzie"

Significant Other - "Those are not sideburns I wear by choice dear, we're from India and the some of us have hairy genes. I'd prefer it if you stopped calling me Fonzie. Now pass me some of what Armstrong and Harmon are smoking, it's got to be good".

AOLer - "Yes, Honey. Thank you for confirming that your mind works, even if your chops are a tad hairy".
